A fully implicit, asymptotic-preserving, semi-Lagrangian algorithm for the time dependent anisotropic heat transport equation

O. Koshkarov, L. Chacon

In this paper, we extend the operator-split asymptotic-preserving, semi-Lagrangian algorithm for time dependent anisotropic heat transport equation proposed in [Chacón et al., JCP,…

An asymptotic-preserving 2D-2P relativistic Drift-Kinetic-Equation solver for runaway electron simulations in axisymmetric tokamaks

Luis Chacon, Don Daniel, William T. Taitano

We propose an asymptotic-preserving (AP), uniformly convergent numerical scheme for the relativistic collisional Drift-Kinetic Equation (rDKE) to simulate runaway electrons in axis…

Prediction of temperature barriers in weakly collisional plasmas by a Lagrangian Coherent Structures computational tool

Giovanni Di Giannatale, Daniele Bonfiglio, Susanna Cappello +2

Analysis of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) has been showed to be a valid mathematical approach to explain the formation of transport barriers in magnetized plasmas. Such LCS…

An Adaptive EM Accelerator for Unsupervised Learning of Gaussian Mixture Models

Truong Nguyen, Guangye Chen, Luis Chacon

We propose an Anderson Acceleration (AA) scheme for the adaptive Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for unsupervised learning a finite mixture model from multivariate data (Fi…
